^^Looks like Sungold, Bronze Burst, and then Textured Matte Bronze.

Here are some other pics for consideration. As you can see, each color is very unique..showing different hues depending on the light.

Sungold
Bronze Burst
Sunken Treasure

Trying to figure out what would look best on Melbourne Red! Such a difficult decision! also, what offsets will I need...I'm on H&R Sport Springs

Matte bronze gets my vote

///MCFC · 10-01-2014, 02:22 PM

that sunken treasure finish is awesome, but it looks like it has some green undertones that may not work with MR?

ACDV228i · 10-01-2014, 02:26 PM

so I think I'm getting close to narrowing it down to either Textured matte Bronze or Sunken Treasure

VMRWheels · 10-01-2014, 05:39 PM

OP, recently we've seen a lot of customers go with 8.5 ET35 | 9.5 ET45. A more conservative option would be 8.5 ET45 (+5mm spacer) | 9.5 ET45.

Personally, I think Matte Textured Bronze would be an AWESOME combination. I have yet to see that finish matched up with red.

Not as dark as MR, but here are some random Red+Sunken Treasure photos I found:

///MCFC · 10-01-2014, 06:07 PM

wow I take it back...that finish looks great with red.

Ricfutures · 10-01-2014, 07:01 PM

9.5 +45 is extremely aggressive in the rear and may prohibit a drop if you have plans to do so. For reference: http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1040428

Any input on how 18x8.5 ET35 18X9.5 ET50 would fit? Or an ET 48? Thanks!

I'm lowered on H&R sports...

It would look very similar to the link ricfutures posted

^5 mm less aggressive in rear

The natural negative camber of the drop MAY help tuck in the wheels a bit

Marc08EX · 10-02-2014, 03:45 PM

My first choice on a red car would have been sun gold. But since you ruled it out, my next choice would be the textured matte bronze.

I had hyperblack wheels on a red car once. looked good.
